To help provide some relief for the affected residents and aid workers helping out with the floods in Louisiana, Devault Foods has sent 50 cases of food after a call for help from the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.

“The community is blessed that loss of life has been low in comparison to property damage,” said Brett Black, Devault Foods’ COO. “Unfortunately early estimates forecast that remediation will cost upward of $30 billion, this is almost twice the investment needed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.”  

Devault Foods partnered with Helping To Heal Haiti on Friday, to provide the Chester County non-profit organization with almost $5,000 in the form of burgers and sausages to send to Louisiana.  

“Devault Foods donation was beyond our expectation,” said Shelly Meadowcroft, Co-Founder of HTHH. “Our experience tells us that pulling in with a hot meal for relief workers and community members who want to stay close to their remaining belongings means a great deal to those affected by disaster.”

Michael Zacco, Vice President of Sales of Devault Foods said that the company is grateful for “the opportunity to extend food and prayers to the people of Baton Rouge and the surrounding parishes.”

He added that communication channels are in place between Devault and the HTHH team on the ground and that as additional needs are assessed, the Devault Foods Family will support and promote a Go Fund Me project to secure more support.
